Holiday in Ballard was wonderful. We saw Santa, decorated and ate a cookie, drank hot chocolate and saw the trees light up. Miss our friends in Ballard and loved coming home for the day. Don't forget Ballard in your holiday shopping this year. All locally owned shops from Market Street Shoes, Romanza, Fair Trade Winds, and many others. Hope to see you there.
